Thank you. Some have suggested I change meds, and they get frustrated with me because I resist. My last big bad spell was last February, when I miscarried. I know, however, that sometimes anxiety breaks through. And I know I'm secretly obsessing over finances and a job I'm afraid to do because my friend is the boss. It took me a while to figure that out. When you wake up at 2:00 a.m., you're not really thinking about anything bad. But it seems to just be there, in your body.
What is your take on the early awakening? I read that it's more common than insomnia, and that so many people have it. A friend thinks it is biochemical (hi, friend. I love you!), but I believe it's situational--usually having something to do with seasons or rain or deeply buried frustrations.
And you are right. My therapist always tell me how "high functioning" I am, and my mother always complains that my "unable to sleep" self forgets that too often with every relapse.
Freaked me out that the Sonata pooped. That's happened before, and it's usually followed by some more struggles.
I feel crappy but less so because of you and these other wonderful people. I hope your insurance ills aren't dragging you down and that you're enjoying fireside chats with your daughter (kids?).
I think I might also be having issues because my girl cries when we go home from school because she has no one to play with. (She has lots of play dates, but no brother or sister, and she asks about adopting a lot.)
So, again, thanks.
